Hi CAC neighbors,
Two weeks from tonight we’ll have our next Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting on Tuesday, November 12th at 7:00 PMon Zoom. Normally we meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month, but we’re changing dates to accommodate when we could have several presentations.

• Report from the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation (Virtual Town Hall that will be on Wed Nov 20th at noon).
• Raleigh’s planning department will present about creating a new comprehensive plan for the City of Raleigh. Here’s a description from City staff: “Reflecting Raleigh: the next comprehensive plan will be a multi-year, citywide effort. Our goal is to create a plan that truly reflects the history, assets, and perspectives of all Raleigh residents.”
• The General Manager of the Village District shopping center will give a presentation on the proposed “social district” they would like for part of the shopping center. This request will go before City Council in the future and require a vote to be created.
All presentations will have Q&A time afterwards. Please put this Zoom meeting on your calendars.
Thanks,
Mike
